Summary:To provide a steering wheel structure with an airbag module which can protect a spring element of a dynamic damper from damage and increase productivity by improving assemblability. Solution A steering wheel structure with an airbag module includes a horn bracket 3 fixed to a steering wheel 1, an airbag module 8 having an inflator 5 and serving as a weight, a spring unit 12 installed between the airbag module and the horn bracket and adapted to transmit vibrations of the steering wheel to the airbag module for configuring a dynamic damper, wherein the spring unit includes an elastic body 17 adapted to transmit the vibrations, and a protector 18 made of synthetic resin, attached to the horn bracket, and adapted to house the elastic body 17 therein in an elastically deformable manner.
